Happy Navy Day

[Devil Doc]

Navy Day is the original day to celebrate the U.S. Navy, and though this celebration officially was replaced by Armed Forces Day (Third Saturday in May for the U.S.) in 1949, the celebrations of Navy Day continue on, especially within the Navy itself.

I have actually never heard of "Navy Day" but it sounds like a good thing to celebrate.

Count me as having no prior knowledge of Navy Day.
Will there be pie?

 

[Capt MJ]

Navy bean soup.

 

[FutureAcademyDad?]

Navy bean soup.

...and Naval oranges.

 

[Devil Doc]

...and Naval oranges.

How about a navel doctor? Now that’s a specialized specialist.

Is this the day we celebrate the Continental Navy, which was disbanded, and the reason the U.S. Coast Guard is the oldest continuous seagoing service in the U.S.?
